Chapter 670 The Invincible Minister

The Demon Emperor let out a long sigh, turned around and walked out: "You can spend the night in Ganquan Hall. But early tomorrow morning, follow me up the mountain and surrender."

"From now on, I can no longer enter the palace to see you." Imperial Master Qingyang knelt down with tears streaming down his face, "You must take care of yourself!"

￥￥￥￥￥

Lingxu City spent the most restless night in the past century.

The Tiangong Guards who originally guarded Xushan entered the city without saying a word, and besieged Qinggong with open fire.

These two places are almost equally sacred and equally unattainable in the hearts of the people, but now they are acting like enemies.

It's incredible.

The monument in some people's hearts suddenly collapsed.

And I heard that the Tiangong Guards were seriously attacking, and they could not get out of the Qinggong Gate. Artillery fire roared on the hill, and the onlookers at the foot of the hill stretched their necks, but they could only see half of the sky reflected in red.

Fu Shanyue insisted on listening to others' advice to eat enough, and returned directly to Pianxiang Villa, only sending someone out to inquire.

About three hours later, the first-hand news came:

The Tiangong Guards stopped attacking and returned to Xushan.

The Qing Palace was not breached, dozens of disciples were injured, but no one died.

At that time, Fu Shanyue and He Lingchuan were setting up a barbecue on the grass. Hearing this, he took a bite of the roasted lamb leg and said, "It seems that the Tiangong Guards were not ruthless either."

"After all, that's the Qing Palace." Try another place? Bai Ziqi can blast that place to rubble within half an hour.

Of course, Qing Palace's defensive array is also excellent, and He Lingchuan just saw it with his own eyes.

Even if Imperial Master Qingyang pleads guilty this time, there will still be new Imperial Masters taking over the Qing Palace in the future. After all, this is one of Lingxu City's most prestigious real-power institutions. If God really blows it to pieces, how different would it be from smashing Lingxu City's face or slapping the emperor wildly?

Not to mention that there are so many foreign guests in Lingxu City, so don’t embarrass yourself to the whole world.

Therefore, Bai Ziqi's siege of Qing Palace was at most just a show, going through the motions and quitting as soon as it was good.

"This is to force the emperor to deal with Qingyang Imperial Master ruthlessly." Fu Shanyue was leisurely wandering around, and He Lingchuan saw that he was not worried about the emperor's worries at all, nor was he annoyed by the emperor's worries.

This guy really doesn't know how to fulfill his duties as a minister.

"It's unexpected that Bai Duzhi's methods are so drastic." He Lingchuan had some understanding of Bai Ziqi's temperament after fighting him several times. This is a smiling tiger who rarely offends people in person.

Now directly dragging the Tiangong Guards to attack the Qing Palace, this is not in line with his character at all. He can only fulfill the requirements of the gods.

Does the god think it is necessary to give the emperor eye drops like this?

"The Tiangong Guards retreated because the gods gave new orders." Fu Shanyue said again, "Guess where the Qingyang Imperial Master is now?"

"Qingyang Imperial Master is not so easy to be caught." He Lingchuan pondered, "The gods don't dare to go too far. Well, let's take a blind guess. The emperor was furious. Maybe the gods made some concessions?"

Fu Shanyue suddenly felt something was wrong: "Wait a minute! Are you saying that Imperial Master Qingyang can get away with it?"

He is not afraid of Imperial Master Qingyang absconding. No matter how noble her original status was, one out of ten fugitives would be pulled down from the shrine and subjected to verbal and written criticism from the Bega demon people. The demon kingdom of the vassal was happy to see this.

But Fushan became more and more worried that Imperial Master Qingyang could still escape the blame. Then wouldn't what he and his son have done be in vain?

"It is impossible to completely escape guilt, but Qingyang Imperial Master still has some advantages." He Lingchuan analyzed carefully, "The subsequent development of this matter may not be to your liking."

Fu Shanyue sat up straighter: "You speak, and I listen."

"Grandmaster Qingyang has known the emperor for many years, has a deep relationship, and is a loyal royalist. Regardless of the past friendship or the actual situation, the emperor may want to deal with her softly." The wine has also warmed up, and he congratulated her. Lingchuan picked it up and took a sip, "Just looking at the extremely radical measures that the gods told Bai Ziqi to take, we know that they also expected that the emperor would be soft-hearted, so they took action to force him."

"Most of them have put a lot of effort into the plan to siege Qing Palace. As long as Qingyang Imperial Master stays in Qing Palace, the outcome is unpredictable." He said slowly, "As a result, Qingyang Imperial Master heard the news and didn't entangle with them at all. He just raised his The legs ran away. This time, Tianshen and Shuangye must have been unexpected."

Fu Shanyue's face darkened slightly. He had already been worried, but He Lingchuan got it right.

"If Imperial Master Qingyang is not caught - which is extremely possible - there is a great possibility that she can escape into Lingxiao Palace in time. In other words, she may be hiding in Lingxiao Palace now. Lingxu The city is so big, it’s one of the few places where the Tiangong Guards don’t dare to offend lightly.”

Fu Shanyue nodded.

"Bai Ziqi also thinks that she will sneak into Lingxiao Palace, so let's assume that she has already met the emperor." He Lingchuan continued, "This is the last chance she gets for herself. She must persuade the emperor to let her go tonight. One horse.”

The more Fushan thought about it, the more annoyed he became: "Is the emperor willing to risk the disapproval of the world?"

"How can there be so much dissatisfaction in the world?" He Lingchuan laughed, "It's just whether the words she says or the things she brings out can impress the emperor."

"Does this old witch still have chips in her hand?" Fu Shanyue exhaled, "That's right. How could a human spirit who has lived for almost two hundred years not leave any backup plan?"

"The elixir case has been fermenting in Lingxu City for a month. She has enough time to think about her options." He Lingchuan said sternly, "She is Bejia's Imperial Master. She has survived more than a hundred years of ups and downs, so how can she be a simple person? ?”

The fact that Imperial Master Qingyang was implicated in the elixir case this time was mostly due to luck.

Without He Lingchuan's help, Xi Yunhe's many arrangements would not have come into effect.

If it weren't for Master Shuangye pushing from behind, He Lingchuan would never have been able to accomplish this.

"Think carefully, what mistakes did Master Qingyang make that deserved death?"

Fu Shanyue frowned: "Privately refining and selling the elixir of immortality, isn't that enough? The gods have clearly prohibited it."

"There are many things that the gods have clearly prohibited, do everyone follow them?" He Lingchuan glanced at him, "The descendants of Yuan Kingdom are not allowed to leave the Twilight Plains. Those who violate it will be reduced to pariahs. This is also the prohibition of the gods. Did you care when you brought Xiao Taozi back to the border of Chiyan?"

Fu Shanyue touched his nose and was speechless.

Yes, he himself is a typical example of knowing the law and breaking it, and he also broke the law of Lingxu City.

If he didn't cross the border, how could Zhongsun Mou have the opportunity to use the prohibition as a command and desperately embarrass him?

"It is illegal to sell the elixir of immortality privately, and it is also illegal to buy it privately. Look at how many dignitaries in Lingxu City buy it. Are they really afraid of this decree?" He Lingchuan said softly, "With the status of Qingyang State Master, he should have enjoyed great privileges. How can he be punished with the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law?"

The prince is punished with the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. This is just to vent his anger. Whoever believes it is stupid.

In fact, the more powerful the person is, the greater the "tolerance for mistakes".

The crime that would be punishable by death for the common people is just a demotion and a fine of half a year's salary for them.

The official position is their card of atonement.

The most typical example that He Lingchuan can see is Fan Sheng.

"Sniping the Chiyan envoy twice and obstructing the progress of the major case, any commoner who dares to do this will lose his head; but look at Fan Sheng, he has now gone to the eastern front to gild himself."

The emperor's punishment for him is like a penalty of three cups of wine.

Those who steal a hook will be executed, while those who steal a country will be made marquises. This is the naked reality.

Fu Shanyue certainly recognized this truth: "Indeed, the sentencing can be light or heavy, depending on the target."

"The ban itself is not important." He Lingchuan took a sip of wine, "What's important is who the gods want to settle with the ban."

"If we look at the case, Qingyang State Master ordered his men to kill some monsters and refine some banned drugs, that's it? Haven't Lingxu City officials done more outrageous things?" In just these few days of wandering around Lingxu City, He Lingchuan really heard endless absurd things from the dignitaries and students, which could easily shatter his three views.

And what he heard was just a little bit of fur.

How much dirt and filth has been hidden in the imperial capital for six hundred years? That can't be seen in the light, otherwise it will cause a big incident.

So, "As long as the emperor is determined to protect her, as long as the gods stop chasing her, Qingyang State Master may have hope."

Fu Shanyue pulled a long face, this was what he didn't want to hear the most.

"Of course, since things have gotten so serious, Qingyang State Master will definitely pay a heavy price." He Lingchuan patted his shoulder, "You don't have to be depressed. As for the immortality medicine case, the gods and the emperor will eventually give you and the other demon countries an explanation. If the crime is proven to be on Qingyang State Master, you have already won! What else do you want?"

Fu Shanyue thought for a while and handed him two roasted lamb ribs: "Come, eat meat!"

"Oh, speaking of Fan Sheng, there is another person who was ordered to rush to the east line." Fu Shanyue said casually, "That is General Qingwu, he set off yesterday."

He Lingchuan stopped before he even started eating meat: "General Hong got what he wanted?"

"Yes, who doesn't want to earn some military merit?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "You don't want to." Fu Shanyue finally became the prince, and he just wanted to stabilize his throne.

Fu Shanyue laughed: "That's right, I don't want to."

He is already the prince of Chiyan, the only child of the old Fushan family, what military merits are there for him to fight for?

At this time, the attendant came to report:

Other dignitaries sent people to express their condolences.

"What condolences? They just want to find out the news from me." Fu Shanyue knew it well, "These guys are rats. I went to the Qing Palace and they all knew it!"

The gods sent troops to besiege the Qing Palace. This news was really earth-shaking for the dignitaries in Lingxu Upper City.

The people of Qingyang State Master's faction probably felt that the sky was about to fall at this moment.

Are there many people who are excited again?

After eating and drinking, He Lingchuan returned to his room. The soul-catching mirror that had been holding back for two hours immediately asked him:

"Hong Chenglue has gone to the battlefield in the east. You have no chance to confirm whether he is Hu Bin!"

He Lingchuan splashed water on his face to calm down: "You said the wrong thing."

"Ah?" The mirror was puzzled, "How did you confirm it?"

Hearing the news that Hong Chenglue went east, the layer of doubt in He Lingchuan's heart had dissipated.
